The Peoples Party Paper VOLUME VI. I 1108 GETS IN ITS WORK Masksd Men Demolish Many Kentucky Tollgates. JHE BAIDEES WERE WELL AiLMED fctjein. <1 to Be Enjjcr For Fight, but tho Gatekeepers Offered Little Resistance and N<> Blood Was Shed—Stockholders of tho Fikes Arc Incensed and Have Put Uetoc tiros on the Case. Frankfort, Ky., Oct. 23.—A mob of /several hundred masked men raided the (county during the night and completely destroyed every tollgate along the pikes. The raiders were armed to the toe th, eager for light. They rode by fcwos, closely folk .ring one another. A bright moon gave them good light as they dashed at a rapid pace down tho Lawrenceburg pike from Anderson county. They demolished the tollgates as they passed with axes and saws, and throw them on the side of tho highway. kin reaching Frankfort the larger p.;r« of the mob galloped out on the Louisville pike. Joo Robinson, the largest stockholder, had been notified of tho raiders’ approach. A hot skirmish W; s hr bed for. but tho gatekeeper, Du puy, was aroused just as the raiders had c nipn t' d their w >r::. lie put his h°ad cur oi tho window, and the leader of the mob, reining in his big white horse, veiled: * “Wo have come to warn you not to charge any mom toll at that gate. If y< n do, whar wo shall do to you on an oi net visit will b' a plenty!” * Dupuy made no response. Some of the rai tiers were drinking, dud ho feared trundle. Other sections of tho mob dashed aiong rhe other pikes and put up warn ing n-4'.ces at gates that had boon torn ti way. By day light there was not a f ate h* be found in the whole county. G:itokevp-»rs on the Louisville and Lnwrei.urg pikes are charging toll as usual, (aspite vac. raid. Stockholders of the pi;< ?s are incensed at what they term wanton destruction and confisca t’on of their property. They have put detectives on the ease. The grand jury will be urged to find indictments. Posses are lying in wait at some of the tollgates for another raid, and then trouble is feared. The county voted for (free turnpikes at the last election. Tho courts have not been able to buy the pikes as yet, and the law’s delay has led to mob violence. RECENT RISE IN WHEAT. Utt Originated In London, S:>ys the Editor I of an English Trade Journal. I New York, Oct. 28.—A dispatch ' t ; held a conversation wit .... (Rush, the editor with Beerbehni’s Corn /Trade List, the standard authority on the market. Mr. Rush, who had just •left the Corn Exchange—where he had ‘ascertained the views of all the leading men in the trade—said: “This rise, almost for the first time on record, originated here, not America; This shows that it could have nothing /'to do with any manipulation of the Ynarkots for any political or other pur poses. I Its cause is that after several years of abundance, the people now rec ognize this year is one of ordinary sup ply. Owing to the previous abundance everybody held'.-aloof from buying and the stocks randown. Besides, the Aus tralian crop is pretty certain to be a failure and there is the extraordinary fact that India has become for thenonco thought to be, to a small extent, an im porter. These things caused the recent advance in the prices. “The trade always goes to extremes to start with. A reaction that has oc curred was to be expected, but the cause of the advance remains. “The men of the most experience in the London market believe that wheat is going to rule at 35 shillings ($8.75) p quarter (8 bushels in a quarter) because it is now realized, in addition to the other reasons I have given, that it is not possible to produce wheat in Europe cheaper. “If America could hold back wheat for a month, it would go up .10 shillings ($2.50) a quarter. But I suppose the American ban!* do not consider wheat a commodity on which it is safe to give large accommodation, so that America is obliged to send on as fast as it can.” Court Clerk Makes a Costly Error. k ‘ San Francisco, Oct. 28.—Owing to a court clerk’s error, the Mutual Life In surance company of New York must pay Mrs. Nellie Phinney a judgment of $98,000 with interestsand costs, making over SIOO,OOO.

Phinney for $98,000 and suit was brought by the widow and judg ment given, but the case was appealed. R. M. Hopkins, clerk of the court at Washington, failed to properly indorse the writ of error filed with him. there fore there is no official record showing tho writ was actually tiled. The time allowed within which another ap peal might bo tiled has expired, so the decision is final. Former Russian Pope Tolstoi Banished.

The Secretary of the Papal Delegate Will Very Likely Lose His Position. Washington, Oct. 29.—The opinion is freely expressed by ecclesiastic of the Catholic church in Washington that the troubles within the church have not i ended with tho Bishop Keane incident, and that they will soon be renewed at Rome by the parties to tho present con- > troversy. It is fully expected by the » friends of Dr. Rooker, the secretary to ; tho papal delegate, that the forces which ; brought about Bishop Keane’s retire ■ niont- from the Catholic university will [endeavor to secure the retirement <f ■ i Dr. Roc-l:;r, who is a friend of Bishop „ ’ Keane and of Archbishop Ireland. ' I This expectation has given rise to : current reports that Dr. Rooker would : i i be succeeded by a new secretary, but so j > ■ far as » known there is no further basis ; , ' for rhe reports at the present time. It , is supposed that tho matters may be i ■ pushed to a conclusion one way or the other after Cardinal Satolli’s arrival at > Rome. ' The cardinal is due at Genoa Wed ’ ’ nesday. He will no: go direct to Rome, 1 but will stop at Milan and Perugia. .’Expectation is that tho names of Dr. Cenaty and others proposed for the rec torship of the university will not be ■ considered until the sacred congregation. ' i now in recess, convenes on the second ■ Monday of November, and that the I final decision will be made known early ! in December. i; Mgr. Martinelli is confining his atton- ' i tion wholly to the work of tho delega- ; tion, which is largely of a routine char- 1 i aeter, and has carefully refrained from ; ; any participation in tho differences ■ i , within the church.

The wedding was set for May 15, 1894, and she purchased an elaborate trousseau at considerable ex- ’ i pense and made other preparations for ' the wedding. The defendant pleaded that ho had become betrothed under false represen tations, and that instead of moving in j high social circles in Chicago, Miss Rob- | ioson’s family were beneath him in I sian ling; that her parents had been di j voiced and that her uncle had a bad !record. Counsel for Weisenborger asked a stay of 90 days in which to appeal from ' ' the verdict.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1896. BAER HAS RETURNED’ The Cornell Professor Arrived on the Teutonic. SPENT SEVERAL MONTHS ABROAD ’ Examined tho Archive.* of The Hagao For | Official Papers Ilolating to the British- I Venezuelan Boundary—Thinks tho Dis pute Will Be Amicably Settled—Knows Nothing of Diplomatic Negotiations. j New York, Oct. 29.—G. L. Baer, pro fessor of history at Cornell university, , returned on the steamship Teutonic j after spending some months abroad ex- j amining the archives of Tho Hague for . official documents relating to the Vene zuelan boundary. These documents go back to tho sixteenth century. Pro fessor Baer discovered that some of tho records had found their way into Eng land, which necessitated his going to London to examine them. Professor Baer was assisted in his investigations . by Dr. De Haan of Johns Hopkins uni versity. : “My mission,” said Professor Baer, : **was simply to find out rhe geograpical , and geological conditions; I explored a i great body of documents which provi ; ously had not been examined. In doing ! this. I very naturally came across much | good material, but the evidence was so vague that it would have to bo inter- ! ■ preted by legal authority. Both in The . Hague and in London, I was given every possible facility for making my ! examination. I “So far as possible I tried, in my own • mind, to arrive at no conclusion. I was | not sent there to draw conclusions, but to explore documents, and I have no I right to anticipate the conclusions of the commission. I have every reason, however, to belipve that the question will l o amicably settled. ■ “I know nothing whatever of the ' diplomatic negotiations. I saw by tho ' newspapers that Sir Julian Pauncefoto, ' tho British ambassador, was in England during my absence on the continent, and 1 assume from what I aead that Iris visit there had a direct bearing upon tho international negotiations. [ “I cannot say whether my discoveries ' t are of value either to one side or to the other. It would not bo proper for me to do so. I have from time to time ■ sent on reports to tho United States I commission, and I am going to Wash ington at once, whore. I shall mako a full report. Until this report is sub mitted Ido not feel that it would bo proper for me to discuss tho result of my mission.” V/ILL REPORTABOUT DEC. 1. The Venezuelan B< J v C O n)H«l<;i lias j |»Mico.r, ' •. in ■ Washington, Oct. 2!).—Tho Venezuo lan commission has resumed its sessions and probably will meet very frequently from now until it completes it work. Andrew D. White was the only absentee. There was some disappointment over tho fact that that Dr. Baer and Professor De Haan, whe have been at work at The Hague, securing original translations of manuscripts and docu ments bearing on the controversy, had not arrived, but the commission pro ceeded to consider the other details , pending their arrival. Dr. Baer and Professor De Haun probably will reach here not later than Thursday. In accordance with the policy hereto fore pursued by the members of the commission, they declined to indicate whether they will be confronted with any difficulties which might prevent an harmonious agreement in their report. Some time ago, however, Justice Brewer intimated that the report would be ready for submission by Dec. 1, at the latest, and this would seem to indi cate that the members of tho commis sion, who have, been kept advised dur ing the suinni r and fall of all develop ments, will reach a speedy conclusion . once all tho documents are officially laid before them.

'wanted to fight a duel. i Dr. Duncan Challenged Dr. Milne, but the Latter Would Not Accept. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 29.—Victorians j have discovered that they no longer live in the last years of the nineteenth century, but have gone back to the good ' old days when personal differences wore j settled with pistols and swords. Tho ; knight errant who has thought to re ! Vive the medaeval system is Dr. John i A. Duncan, brother of Dr. George A. i Duncan, late city health officer and at i present superintendent in charge of : William Head quarantine station. I On Saturday last he sent to Dr. G. I. Milne a letter in which the latter is i challenged to fight a duel with pistols and to name his seconds within 48 hour.-. : The nucleus around which center the . incidents leading up to the sensational challenge is the crusade the Liberal : leaders of Victoria have lately been on gaged in to oust Dr. George from his position for political reasons. Dr. Milne is the defeated candidate for the commons and he has just re turned from a missionary trip to Ot ’ tawa He was called on Saturday by Dr. John Duncan, who asked that th matter of his brother’s position be not. interfered with, and suggested that Dr. Milne wire to Ottawa to that effect. Dr. Milne replied that Duncan had al ready sent numerous affidavits to Ot tawa concerning their side of the ques tion, those had been considered by the minister of agriculture and nothing farther could be done. Dr. Duncan then became abusive and Dr. Milne or dered him out of the office. Soon after a district messenger camo to Dr. Milne’s office and presouto.i a let ter. The doctor, after paying tho mes senger the 10 cents demanded for the conveyance of the communication, broke the seal and was astonished and amused to read a f rmal challenge, plainly couched, to fight a duel with pistols lit 12 yards. Dr. Milne being a law-abiding citizen, however, and having looked throuuh the challenge with a cathode ray of 1896 civilization, sent his brother practitioner a humorous reply demanding the right to choose the weapons and selecting pea shooters and syringes.

Secondly, as they are unquestionably assisted immigrants, they must provide proper bonds, so as to secure the coun try, before lauding, against their being supported by the federal authorities. There are 274 Armenians left on Ellis island, six having been released during the day. Susan B.

It is esti mated by well informed officers of tho 1 Cuban that the Spaniards have i lost 35,000 men since the war began. ; The atrocities practiced by tho Span • iards, who are exasperated beyond en- I durance by the persistuice of tho Cu i bans, would hardly be credited. “I saw an American citizen, Dan Erb, i formerly a fireman on tho Denver and ■ Rio Grande railway, at Leadville, shot j down in cold blood by a Spanish officer. Erb was taken prisoner at the same time 'ns myself. We were held as prisoners : on tho side of the railway track, await : ing the train to carry us to Havana. A ! Spanish officer entered into conversation with Erb, who exclaimed defiantly that i he was an American citizen, and ex- I pected to bo treated like a man. Tho . officer drew a 6-shooter and killed Erb ! on thejspot. | “While confined in tho castle I wit nessed many startling scenes. Every ( morning the prisoners aro obliged to go to the seashore to bathe. They are sent ; out in gangs of 20 men under heavy j guard. 1 noticed that some never re turned.

Hundreds and perhaps thou sands of prisoners have been disposed of through tho agency of sharks. | “The doors of the inclosure surround i ing the castlo aro left open as if to in ; vite escape, but no man who has made , tho attempt has ever been heard of I again.

Fearful thaw ho might fai.ut from tho effects of tho excitement, the vice president had his cab called and he went at once to the Palmer House, where he has been since. In leaving the stage door at the place of massmeeting, Mr. Stevenson asked the assistance of a policeman who was on duty in that section of rhe house, and the latter saw him safely away iu his cab.
